San Diego, CA (May 25, 2023) – At around 5:18 p.m. on Tuesday, a road bike rider and a motorcyclist sustained injuries in a collision on Viewridge Avenue.

The bicyclist was in a marked crosswalk facing a green traffic light when at the same time, a 61-year-old man was riding an eastbound black 2003 Harley Davidson motorcycle in the right-hand lane of 9400 Balboa Avenue.
